[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny how nobody ever mentions in these threads the PARENTS’ responsibility to educate their kids. They just want to farm everything out to schools. If you want more rigor, then give them more rigor AT HOME. Ever hear of a library? And most schools give home access to all of the learning apps, etc. So maybe get off you phones and skip the stupid wine bar and focus on your kids. The most academically successful kids will have had a lot of one-on-one time with their parents, getting close editing of papers, debate, etc. Schools have little to do with it. [/quote] This is an absolutely whacko response. It is quite literally the job of schools to teach kids. Yes I have to supplement but that’s because our public school has absurdly low expectations. Parental effort would be much better spent finding a school that, you know, teaches. Because that’s otherwise six wasted hours in a day. PS - I, my siblings, and many successful friends never had to be tutored 1:1 by our parents because we had the good fortune to attend strong public schools. [/quote]
